2 THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE HORSE The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences. 1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation. 2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids. 3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event. 4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement. 5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise. A full copy of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: The Code is available in English & French. The Code is also available on the FEI s website: 2

21 DEDUCTIONS FROM PRIZE MONEY AT COMPETITIONS PRIZE MONEY Full details of any deductions from prize money must be outlined in the schedule. This includes government taxes. If it is necessary for OCs to deduct such taxes, they must provide participants with an official form indicating the amount of tax deducted. All riders need to settle their accounts after their last class in the sport office. Prize money will be paid by check or will be wired. 18 % tax deduction will be taken of the Prize-money of the Foreign Riders by the Belgian Government. All Prize Money will be wired! IMPORTANT The total amount of prize money shown for each Competition in the schedule must be distributed. (GR Art 127, 128) For details of the Breakdown for each competition please refer to the tables at the end of this document; the OC must specify which of the two tables will be used. The total prize money for the competition must be distributed among the first 12 placed athletes. The OC must provide additional created prizes for athletes placed beyond 12 th place. The minimum amount for each of these additional prizes, for athletes placed from 13 th to last place, must be clearly specified in the approved schedule. IMPORTANT Maximum Number of starters per competition: 100. If more than 100 starters are entered, the OC must split the class and provide the equivalent amount of prize money for the additional Competition. OCs may apply either of the following methods for splitting the Competition: The competition is split into two groups before it starts. There may be a different number of starters in each group. There may be athletes with multiple horses in each group but all horses of any one athlete must be in the same group. OR The competition is run as one single competition and split afterward into two groups and the classification established as follows: the athlete with the best score is the winner of the first group, the athlete with the second best score is the winner of the second group and so on until prizes have been allocated to 25% of the total number of starters. NB: In this case separate results must be sent to the FEI for each of the two groups, e.g. results for Competition 1a and for Competition 1b. In both cases above each group must offer the same amount of prize money as indicated for the original Competition. 21
